The Earth is closer to the Sun by about 3 million miles (5 million km) in January than in July. This would seem to make the summer temperatures hotter in the Southern Hemisphere (and the winters colder). However, this is only true of localized regions. Most of the Southern hemisphere is water, which does not increase in temperature as much as land. The maritime climates of the Southern hemisphere are often cooler during their summer than summer in the continental areas of the Northern hemisphere.

What is the season in June?
In the Northern Hemisphere, June is summer, but in the Southern Hemisphere, June is winter.
What season is it when the earths northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun?
If the northern axis or North Pole is tilted directly towards the sun, it is summer in the northern hemisphere and winter in the southern hemisphere. If your talking about the angle of the planet when the Northern Hemisphere is receiving direct rays, its summer. If you are asking what the Northern Hemisphere season it is when planet Earth is closest to the Sun, it's winter.
Why is it summer in earths northern hemisphere at the same time its winter in the southern hemisphere?
This happens because of the tilt of Earth's axis. During the summer in the Northern Hemisphere, that part of the Earth is tilted towards the Sun, receiving more direct sunlight and causing warmer temperatures. At the same time, the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, experiencing winter with fewer daylight hours and cooler temperatures.
Why is the Southern Hemisphere warmer in January than in July?
January is summer in the southern hemisphere. Likewise, July is winter. The seasons are reversed in the two hemispheres because the Sun can only shine more directly on either the Northern or Southern hemispheres (creating summer), due to the axial tilt of the Earth.
What hemisphere is tilted toward the sun during the summer solstice?
The hemisphere tilted towards the Sun during the summer solstice is the Northern Hemisphere. This tilt causes the North Pole to be tilted towards the Sun, leading to longer days and warmer temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere during this time of the year.
How are winters in the Northern Hemisphere different from winters in the Southern Hemisphere?
In the Southern Hemisphere the winters are warmer than in the Northern Hemisphere.
Is winter in the northern hemisphere warmer than in the southern hemisphere?
No, it is not
When do cyclone ocure?
In the hemisphere's Warmer Months (Northern Hemisphere May - October, Southern Hemisphere November - April)
Why is Earth's surface warmer in the north hemisphere it is summer there?
The earth surface is warmer in the northern hemisphere when it issummer there because of the angle of the sun. For the same reason,the Earth's surface is warmer in the southern hemisphere when it isSummer there.
Which hemisphere has the warmest average temperature?
The Southern Hemisphere generally has warmer average temperatures compared to the Northern Hemisphere due to greater amounts of ocean coverage and southward distribution of land masses.
Why is it summer in the northern hemisphere at the same time it is winter in the southern hemisphere?
because the northern part of the earth tips towards the sun, obviously leaving the southern part to tip away from it, and the closer you are to the sun the warmer it is.
Is it warmer in southern Sweden or northern Sweden?
It is warmer In Southern Sweden than it is in Northern Sweden
City A in the Southern Hemisphere and City B in the Northern Hemisphere are located at the same latitude. Which statement is likely true about these cities?
City A is likely to have a warmer climate compared to City B because of its position in the Southern Hemisphere, which generally experiences warmer temperatures due to its proximity to the equator.
Why is the northern hemisphere cooler then the southern hemisphere?
The word sun starts with 'S', and southern starts with 'S' as well. This means that southern is sunny, 'S' and 'S'. The northern hemisphere is cooler because the north pole has an 'N' and northern hemisphere does too.
What effect does the hemisphere have on the seasons?
The hemisphere you are in (northern or southern) has an effect on when you experience the seasons. At points in the earth's orbit it is either the southern or northern hemisphere that is tilted further towards the sun. This makes that hemisphere warmer, experiencing summer while the other colder and experiences winter. Then six months later, things are reversed.
Where is the southern hemisphere in relation to the sun when it is summer in the northern hemisphere?
In summer, the N. Hemisphere is oriented toward the Sun, while the S. Hemisphere is oriented away. In the winter, the opposite is true. The Earth is actually closer to the Sun in the N. Hemisphere Winter than in the Summer.
What is the season in June?
In the Northern Hemisphere, June is summer, but in the Southern Hemisphere, June is winter.
